 Paran
    abounding in foliage, or abounding in caverns, (Gen. 21:21), a
    desert tract forming the north-eastern division of the peninsula
    of Sinai, lying between the 'Arabah on the east and the
    wilderness of Shur on the west. It is intersected in a
    north-western direction by the Wady el-'Arish. It bears the
    modern name of Badiet et-Tih, i.e., "the desert of the
    wanderings." This district, through which the children of Israel
    wandered, lay three days' march from Sinai (Num. 10:12, 33).
    From Kadesh, in this wilderness, spies (q.v.) were sent to spy
    the land (13:3, 26). Here, long afterwards, David found refuge
    from Saul (1 Sam. 25:1, 4).
